P52 35/52 What’s my Name?

This plant started growing in my yard next to my Dahlia this Spring. I have no idea what it is, and assume the wind,  a bee, or a bird brought the seed which took root. It has broad leafy branches and these tiny little flowers grow on stalks.

It’s quite bushy.

Anyone know what it is?

UPDATE: Thank you so much Andy of  Christian Grandfather, Honoring Grandfather’s Blog for Identifying this plant as Pokeweed.

It’s not native to my area/region. I’m going to have yank it since it’s poisonous, and I have a toddler, and dog who will find its berries too tempting I fear.
